Answer:

7s²7p⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

Livermorium is located in the seventh period and sixteenth column of the periodic table. The noble gas configuration for livermorium is [Rn]7s²5f¹⁴6d¹⁰7p⁴. The valence electrons are the ones in the orbitals with the highest quantum number (coefficient). Remember, there can be up to 8 valence electrons at one time. Therefore, the valence electron configuration is 7s²7p⁴.

Let's check

  • 116 is the atomic no
